[X4U] Rolling back to 10.4.7 - RESULTS

[Robert A. Virzi]

Recap: 10.4.8 was causing me problems, mainly with Eudora and 
SuperDuper, but also with general program crashes.  I asked for help 
"rolling back" to 10.4.7.

I did this by doing an Archive and Install of 10.4 from disk, and 
then immediately applying the 10.4.7 COMBO updater.

Short answer: worked like a charm!  No more crashes and things are 
much better now.

Longer answer: It is a bit of a pain.  Took a couple of hours to 
reinstall, run the updater, and clean up some things that got lost in 
the translation (spotlight privacy, apps flagged as 'first time 
running,' and setting up chron jobs).

But overall, well worth the effort.

Thanks to all, especially, Linda, Matt, Eddie, John, and Randy for 
their very helpful suggestions.
